WisdomThinking® Potentials Coaching

The WisdomThinking® Potentials Coaching training course will turn you into a wise sparring partner for your clients in 13 days. You will support your clients in gaining an overview and orientation of what they can do to realize their full potentials. To find their real concerns and harmonious solutions for them. For all those who do business, whether SME customers, founders, the self-employed, or those who want to become self-employed or are wondering what exactly their passion is.

 

 

In contrast to WisdomThinking® Coaching, Potentials Coaching focuses less on the leadership issues of individuals and more on the company as a whole. This means the company as an actor as well as an action, i.e. the company as an organization as well as the activity of acting entrepreneurially.

 

Potentials coaching looks at companies particularly in terms of alignment, strategy and decision-making. This involves working out and visualizing the company's concern and the factors influencing it. The situation, context, orientation, strengths and weaknesses as well as the company's need for change are analyzed in a holistic manner and ways of transformation are developed and tested. With the WisdomThinking® method, you help your clients to find the direction in which they want to go in view of their initial situation, which resources they can mobilize for this and what are good steps to take in order to arrive at harmonious solutions.

 

 

Why Potentials Coaching with WisdomThinking® ?

 

All-rounder as a sparring partner: Our experience is that companies and entrepreneurs often need a sparring partner who has an eye on the company beyond the numbers-driven perspective of traditional consulting. Someone who understands the world of SMEs, start-ups and the self-employed, knows what makes employees, customers and the environment tick and how important the issues of sustainability, financing/liquidity, risk management, employee management and corporate culture are today. This is precisely because in these cases all functions are considered from a single source even more than in corporations, because personal contact with employees and the environment still plays a much greater role, there is often an owner family and everything is closely linked. And yet SMEs, start-ups and the self-employed have to prove themselves in the same markets as their major competitors and often do this extremely well as "hidden champions".

 

Wise decisions with harmonius solutions: Precisely because the common concern of all stakeholders is often still readily tangible in such companies, there is a great opportunity to use WisdomThinking® to make it the central starting point for entrepreneurial action. In this way, "wise decisions" can be made time and time again that are elegantly based on the company's situation and its options for action.

 

Target group: The training is aimed at all (potential) consultants, founders, the self-employed, SME entrepreneurs and managers who want to add an important dimension to their skills: the resonant perspective with the WisdomThinking® approach. In our experience, this is an important addition for many consultants who want to understand their clients' situation more comprehensively before offering their specialist expertise. But also for many coaches who already have a foothold in an SME through their coaching work and are then confronted with questions that go beyond the usual coaching skills and experience.
